Bimbisāra had a son known as Vedehi-putto Ajātasattu in the canonical Pāli texts, and as Kūnika by the Jains. The later Buddhist tradition makes him a son of the Kosala Devī; the Jain tradition, confirmed by the standing epithet of Vedehi-putto, son of the princess of Videha, in the older Buddhist books, makes him a son of Chellanā. Buddhaghosa has preserved what is no doubt the traditional way of explaining away the evidence contained in the epithet⁵. But the matter cannot be further discussed here.
